It has been made a big political issue because the republicans have made it so. How many times have you heard them, from Trump on down, that we shouldn’t be voting by mail ballots? Have you seen the kooks around the country dressed up in body armor open carrying guns to “watch” the ballot boxes? It’s freaking Crazy! So anyway I can understand his comment. I really feel bad for the county people who work so hard to do everything they can do to help people vote and the ones working the election who are being harassed for just doing their job.
